This Ukrainian fish loaf is lightened with egg whites, giving it a souffle like texture. It is much more stable, however, and can be turned out to serve. Good served with sauteed thin strips of zucchini and carrots. Ingredients:
12 ounces white fish fillets, skinned and cut into 1 inch cubes |
2 ounces white bread, cut into 1/2 inch cubes |
1 cup milk |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
3 eggs, separated |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, grated |
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Line bottom of a 6-cup loaf pan with parchment paper.
3. Place the fish cubes in a bowl.
4. Add the bread; sprinkle with the milk; leave to soak while you cook the chopped onion.
5. Melt the butter in a small pan and fry onions for 10 minutes; add to the fish and bread with the egg yolks, nutmeg, dill, salt and pepper; mix well.
6. Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff; gently fold into the fish mixture.
7. Spoon the mixture into the baking dish.
8. Cover with a butter foil and bake for 45 minutes or until set.
9. Allow to stand for 5 minutes, then spoon out.
10. Alternatively, loosen with a knife; turn out, remove the paper and cut into wedges.
11. Garnish with dill and serve.
